Family Behavior Systems

When we are first born, synesthesia helps us rapidly learn about our environment. As we develop, brain connections are pruned to permit specialization. Our daily activity models this developmental process. Synesthesia (associations between the parts of the brain) is greatest when we first awaken. As the day progresses, we become more narrowly focused and specialized. Unfortunately, we are sleepy and tired upon waking up. The systesthesia of waking can be simulated, however, when returning from a relaxed state. Relaxation makes use children again. We use biofeedback and relaxation training to increase the connections between brain parts to enhance therapeutic effectiveness. People often know what changes need to be made, but are unable to implement that knowledge. Synesthesia moves therapy from understanding to action.
